Like the fact that there is no author named in any of the gospels. So the only reason we know it was Luke who wrote Luke was by the way it was written? What?! This bothers me because I like to be very definite with my answers to questions. I know that is all doesn't really matter in the long run, but shouldn't it matter a little?
I like the idea that the gospels weren't written for us to know the events but instead know what it all means. But that just opens the gate for eisegesis. Not that that gate hasn't already been opened. There is no birth story in John or Mark. So what does that mean? Luke says nothing about Jesus dying for our sins. Why not and what does that mean?
And the crazy discussion about spirituality. Ugh.... So if our languages effect the way we think then how do we know what to think? Does this mean the English Bible is false? There are so many translations that say different things and some even change the meaning of things. So what are we suppose to do with that? How are we to know the truth if we've messed it up from the very beginning? And that very beginning is the fact that our language makes us think differently! Maybe we have to learn Greek and Hebrew. And be super good at it too.
So if it's our bodies that go to heaven instead of our spirit, then I better take care of myself since I really will be stuck with this body forever ;)
